get cvs version of certain date

get cvs version of certain date

[Fabian Braennstroem]

Hi,

I want to install the cvs version of 4th June. 
I get the current source with:

cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs

but there is compiling problem.

Maybe anybody knows how to set the date for the cvs
checkout!?

Greetings, Fabian

Look up "cvs co -D <date>" in the CVS manual.

Warning: the -D option is sticky; you should keep this in mind for the
future checkouts and other CVS operations (hint: use "cvs up -A" when
you no longer want to keep the June 4 date).

Thanks! Should take a look at it earlier; just tried it
without the '-D' ...
